<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I have an administrator ordered to obtain a $5,000 bond before she can have her Letters. She was unable to get bonded – she is not employed and has had some past credit issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I reviewed RCW 11.28.185: The court may at any time after appointment of the personal representative require said personal representative to give
a bond or additional bond, the same to be conditioned and to be approved as provided in this section;
<span style="color:red">or the court may allow a reduction of the bond upon a proper showing.
</span>In lieu of bond, the court may in its discretion, substitute other security or financial arrangements, such as provided under RCW <a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.88.105">11.88.105</a>,
<span style="color:red">or as the court may deem adequate to protect the assets of the estate.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">She has $5,000 cash and I am making a motion to place those monies in my trust account – anyone approached the court in a similar fashion? I have done my research and only
found a couple of cases citing this RCW and they were both very odd guardianship situations over 50 years ago…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
